If you’re pursuing an MBA or an eligible master’s degree in Accounting, Accounting Analytics, Business Analytics or Engineering Management, you may be able to apply for a second graduate degree and count up to 9 credits toward both programs.
Combine specialized expertise with broad business knowledge in areas such as management, strategy and decision-making, while saving time and tuition costs.
Earning two concurrent degrees is available to current UMass Lowell students in the following programs:
Strengthen your ability to connect data insights to business strategy, helping prepare you for leadership roles where you can guide decisions across functions and organizations.
Prepare for roles with greater responsibility in financial management, business strategy and organizational leadership, while building on your accounting expertise.
Pairing your specialized expertise with an MBA will help you broaden your career opportunities, strengthen your leadership and decision-making skills, and apply your knowledge more effectively across industries and organizations.
Pairing analytics and accounting expertise with broader business knowledge will help you move beyond analyzing financial data to influencing strategy, leading teams and supporting executive decision-making.
Build on your technical and project management experience with stronger skills in finance, strategy, marketing and leadership, helping you move into higher-level roles overseeing teams, operations, budgets and business priorities.
If you’re enrolled in a different graduate program, you may still be able to pursue a second master's degree and double-count nine credits. Consult with your advisor and MBA advisors to create an academic plan that works for you.
If you're interested, it's important to start planning early.
Talk with your advisor about your interest in pursuing the MBA and how a concurrent degree could fit into your academic plan. Your advisor can help you determine which courses may count toward both degrees.
Admission to your current master's program does not automatically admit you to the MBA. You must apply to the MBA and meet the program's admission requirements. Apply before the final semester of your first master's program.
If earning an MBA is part of your career plans, starting the conversation early gives you more opportunity to plan your course work strategically.
